In this painting, Paul combining a Classical Greek bust with a digitalized flower and bright technicolor, accented with sparkling effects on the petals. It evokes nostalgia in multiple senses - the fantasy of a past civilization and of personal memories, which is enhanced by the oval shape of this painting reminiscent of a token or broach.

If there was ever a rave held in the Ancient Greek and Roman section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Paul Anagnostopolous’ artwork would come closest to visualizing it. Paul’s body of work featuring male greek and roman figural motifs manipulate space and visual emphasis. The figures, a visual standard of western masculinity with homoerotic subtext, are shown in positions of vulnerability within rich landscapes drawn from Paul’s life. As well as subverting gendered expectations, Paul’s figures draw on his Greek and Italian heritage in addition to his childhood drawings of his grandparent’s replica ancient vases and classical statues.
